The Shanghai Yangshan Deep Water Port has evolved into a comprehensive shipping and logistics hub as China is building Shanghai as a center for international maritime shipping. In the first quarter of 2026, the Shanghai Yangshan Deep Water Port handled 7.45 million TEUs of container throughput, representing a 9.1% year-on-year increase. The port's phase IV automated terminal is one of the world's largest single-unit container terminals with advanced integrated automation. It features seven deepwater container berths, 61 automated container yards, as well as designated areas for hazardous materials and oversized containers.
